Fantastic Flash: Hue Shift
What happens when some minimalist techno music, simple graphics, and classic platforming mechanics get together late at night? You get Hue Shift, an easy to play, difficult to master flash game that looks reminiscent of Nintendo's Art Style games.
The directions are simple. As a little colored pixel attempting to climb to the top of a large column, the player switches between one of three colors (red, green and blue) to make use of similarly colored platforms. While the player doesn't control the square's movement, you're in charge of jumping and color shifting. Sounds easy right? Well, it starts that way and gets pretty tricky quickly.
I'll admit that I wasn't very good at it at first, but once I got the hang of it the game kind of put me into this strange daze and I could barely pry myself away from it to tell you all about it here. A big part of it has to do with the awesomely hypnotic soundtrack, which I totally wish I could download. Maybe the good folks over at Broken Radio Games can give us a little love and release it if we all ask nicely.
